October 30--November 5, 2016

Attended Malang Branch for church on Sunday October 30.  A few days before we had visited Suharto (President's companion from forty years ago who has been out of the church for he past 30 years).  He has decided to be baptized!  He feels it is time and he has known for all this time that the gospel is true--studies Book of Mormon every day.  When we were with him, we learned that he and all his  family are from Malang--the city where we had previously decided to go to church on this Sunday--and that is on the other side of the island from Jakarta and a long journey away. We were able to meet his sisters who are members and tell them the news that he will be baptized!  Everyone is so happy for him and what a miracle that we were here to tell them the news!
